Coker Dry Gas Hydrogenation Catalysts are a type of gas-phase fixed-bed catalyst used for the purification of coking dry gas in refineries. They primarily function by hydrogenating organic sulfur compounds—such as mercaptans, sulfides, thiophenes, COS, and CS₂—into H₂S, while simultaneously hydrogenating olefins (e.g., ethylene and propylene) into saturated alkanes. The resulting H₂S is typically absorbed by downstream zinc oxide desulfurization agents, ensuring the feed gas meets the requirements for steam reforming, syngas production, or use as a cracking feedstock.
Upstream raw materials primarily include support materials such as pseudoboehmite, activated alumina, and titanium dioxide; active metal precursors such as ammonium molybdate, cobalt nitrate, nickel nitrate, and iron salts; as well as phosphorus, rare earth elements, or other structural promoters, peptizing agents, binders, and shaping agents. The support's pore volume, specific surface area, pore size distribution, and mechanical strength influence gas diffusion, resistance to carbon deposition, and bed pressure drop; the cobalt-molybdenum, nickel-molybdenum, or iron-molybdenum components determine the activity for organic sulfur conversion and olefin saturation. These catalysts are typically manufactured through processes involving kneading, extrusion or pelletizing, drying, calcination, and impregnation. Downstream applications mainly involve coking dry gas pretreatment systems; these are usually integrated with wet desulfurization, zinc oxide fine desulfurization, and steam reforming units to facilitate refinery hydrogen production and the manufacture of ammonia, methanol, and ethylene cracking feedstock.
In 2025, global sales volume is approximately 3,100 metric tons, with a price range of roughly US$8,500–11,500 per ton and a gross profit margin of approximately 30%–40% for major manufacturers.
The development of the hydrogenation catalyst industry for coking dry gas is primarily driven by the need to valorize refinery by-product dry gas, rising natural gas feedstock costs, growing demand for refinery hydrogen production, and increasingly stringent controls on sulfur oxide emissions. After undergoing organic sulfur hydrogenation, olefin saturation, and fine desulfurization, coking dry gas can substitute for a portion of natural gas in hydrogen production or synthesis gas units, thereby enhancing the utilization value of the by-product gas. Key industry challenges include significant fluctuations in coking dry gas composition and the highly exothermic nature of olefin hydrogenation; operating conditions with high olefin content are prone to catalyst bed hotspots, carbon deposition, and activity decay. Conversely, excessively low sulfur levels following wet desulfurization can lead to sulfur loss in cobalt-molybdenum or nickel-molybdenum active phases, while sudden spikes in sulfur content accelerate the breakthrough of downstream zinc oxide desulfurizers and threaten the integrity of reforming catalysts. Consequently, catalysts must balance low-temperature organic sulfur conversion, olefin saturation, resistance to carbon deposition, tolerance to feed fluctuations, and mechanical stability. Future product upgrades will focus on high-olefin adaptability, low-temperature high activity, pre-sulfided formulations, and compatibility with isothermal reaction systems, while bed temperature rise will be managed through graded catalyst loading and catalyst combinations.
